Well, it’s official; the seniors have left the building. Without the sounds of the vibrant seniors echoing down the hallways, high school feels somewhat deserted and quiet. There was always a friendly senior to great you during a long trip to the “bathroom” or visit to the “water-fountain”, now the only face we may be seeing is that of a teacher telling us to get back to class.

Well, it’s official; the seniors have left the building. Without the sounds of the vibrant seniors echoing down the hallways, high school feels somewhat deserted and quiet. There was always a friendly senior to great you during a long trip to the “bathroom” or visit to the “water-fountain”, now the only face we may be seeing is that of a teacher telling us to get back to class. Although, now that the upper classmen are gone, some of us juniors are already starting to feel like the top dogs… too bad all the comfy couches seem to be “missing” from the senior lounge otherwise our transition would be complete!

On Friday, the seniors had their prom, and everyone was dressed to impress. Too bad the 90-degree weather led to some melting makeup and sweaty tuxes (don’t forget to dry clean those babies)! As a girl, it’s only natural that I take a moment to comment on the amazing dresses and tuxes that graced “the red carpets” on the town common. Jewel tones, form fitting gowns, and short dresses were definitely the fashion trends of the night with many girls sporting relaxed updo’s. For those of us who read the In’s and Out’s of the Spinnaker’s fashion, it is no surprise that these seniors know how to dress. (Who will I look to for style tips now that the seniors have gone?)

Now, for some of the main events that happened this week:

· Monday’s fabulous celebration of Memorial Day seemed to bring everyone out of hibernation as downtown Cohasset overflowed with townsfolk.

· The polls opened up to the high school on Tuesday, as students finally elected a President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, for their grade. (At least I can vote somewhere)! In addition, to voting, the 11th grade once again was forced to endure the dreaded History MCAS, with a majority of us forgetting about the test altogether, woops!

· Wednesday, the seniors had to return to the seemingly inescapable high school for a graduation rehearsal and later for Class Night 2007. Congratulations to the following students who won:

For 10th Grade, Christine Coner is President, Vice President is Lucy Noble, and Treasurer is Dominique Rioux

For 11th Grade, The President is Maggie McGoldrick, Vice President is Anna Roberts, Secretary is Jenny Cahill, and Treasurer is Molly Gilbert

For 12th Grade, Kenny Muir is President, Vice President is Jackie Cahill, Secretary is May McCarthy, and Treasurer is Meagan Coakley!

Great job to everyone who ran!

· Thursday, sadly, the baseball team had their breakup dinner at the ever so swanky Cohasset Country Club. However, the boy’s lacrosse team continues its season as they played in a tournament game at Alumni Field.

· On Saturday, Cohasset High School hosts another round of SAT’s (thank goodness for that)! Unfortunately, these million hour tests are followed by GRADUATION at the music circus, so find your tissues and cameras the night before!

In addition to Prom and the lonely halls of CHS, it was Memorial Day on Monday and everyone seemed to come outside to join in the celebration. After all, who wants to pass up a free meal or a glimpse at the amazing array of flags in front of the Legion? Thankfully, this weekend was filled with lots of sunshine and happening events. Let’s hope this coming weekend can be just as beautiful!
